Hi Luc, ... Ouch. A problem due to Jupiter not being round. The eclipse/occultation maps assume spherical objects. The actual sky view _does_ show flattened...
Hi Bill, Thank you for your answer, I understand now the problem. It could even be the case with the Earth's umbra in Lunar eclipses ! I do not think that it...
I've just played with this a bit and find that it depends on what zoom level I am at. At level 4, for example, right-clicking anywhere within the cluster...
Hello Tom, ... click on the yellow circumference of M13 and not the center or horizontal or vertical line. Then you get the wanted more information. Clear...
Hi Tom, I find this, too. The symbol for a globular cluster is a circle with a cross. If you click anywhere on the circle, you will get the info for the...
Hi Clay, This update should be Guide 8.0 compatible. You've probably already encountered this, but for those who haven't... please note that the steps are...
Hi Bill, Using Guide 9 17 April 2013 version I have been trying to display asteroid 22185 Stiavnica using 'Goto asteroid' then either the number or name. All...
It works fine for me. Make sure your your using the full MPCORB file, Display asteroids to appropriate mag or all. Make sure MPCORB is set in "Extra" to either...
Ditto here - works fine for all those I tried above 200,000. As Denis said, make sure you have an MPCORB file and that option is enabled. Also make sure you...
Keith, Go to Extras > Asteroid/Comet Options... and ensure that, if the "Show all asteroids" checkbox is not checked, the "Show First" is not set to some...
Hi Stephen, You have found my omission the 'Show all asteroids' was not ticked in fact I had not noticed this option. I have never used MPCORB file. Is this a...
Keith, I presume the option to limit the number of asteroids shown is one of Bill's contributions to World Cardiac Health (it reduces the opportunities to go...
Hi Bill (and anyone else who knows the answer!), I find myself in the position of having a guidescope whose orientation is fixed, relative to my main field of...

Hello Grant, ... yes there is. You have to create your own ccd camera in the file "ccds.nam"; for an english language Guide. The explanation how to do this is...
This is most excellent, Bernd (and Bill!). It will take a little playing with, but that looks to be EXACTLY what I am looking for. Guess it pays to read the...

Grant, I'm using Apr 17 version of Guide 9 and I also see the same 109.7 mag when I right click on Daphnis. What I also noticed is in the Saturn moon listing...
Thanks, Ben. The mystery star is indeed the one to which you refer. I don't have UCAC4, only UCAC3 - and it appears to be absent from UCAC3....go figure. ...
I have made my UCAC4 disk copies and I am now ready to send them on to the next person who wants them. Ted Blank Hampton, NH ... [Non-text portions of this...
